Node deep copy with permissions intact

I am attempting to use the copy() method on a node that contains several child folders each with different permissions. The folder structure comes through intact, but the nested permissions get trashed. Is there correct way to do this?

var message = "createTitleContentFolderByNameAndTitleId failed";
var exception = "";
var success = false;

var folderName = args.folderName;
var titleId = args.titleId;

try
{
    
    if((folderName == null) || (folderName == "") || (titleId == null) || (titleId == ""))
    {
        message = "Expected folderName and titleId as arguments";
    }
    else
    {
        // Locate content folder for use as a template
        var templateQuery = "//.[@cm:name='Title Content Folders']/*[@cm:name='" + folderName + "']";
        message = "Searching against XPath query: " + templateQuery;
        var templateResults = companyhome.childrenByXPath(templateQuery);
        
        // Locate title folder (target parent)
        var titleQuery = "//.[@bm:title_id=" + titleId + "]";
        message = "Searching against XPath query: " + titleQuery;
        var titleResults = companyhome.childrenByXPath(titleQuery);
   
        if((templateResults.length > 0) && (titleResults.length > 0))
        {        
       var templateFolder = templateResults[0];
            var titleFolder = titleResults[0];
            var newContentFolder = templateFolder.copy(titleFolder, true);
            newContentFolder.name = templateFolder.name;
            if(newContentFolder != null)
            {
                 message = "Content folder created";
                 success = true;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            message = "Could not locate content folder or title folder";
        }
    }    
}
catch (e)
{
    exception = e.description;
}

model.message = message;
model.exception = exception;
model.success = success;

I noticed that if I do the copy from the web interface, nested permissions remain intact. Obviously something different is going on behind the scenes.
